High Martial Arts: Liver Becomes the Master of the Universe

Chapter 361 The Emperor's Encirclement and Slaughter! Martial Arts Mountain! Eight Million Consecutive Wins!

Ninety-seven thousand two hundred and sixty-one years.

For ordinary life, this is a long period of time that is enough to turn oceans into mulberry fields and for countless civilizations to rise and fall.

But for Qin Feng, this was just a fleeting moment of deep seclusion.

Three thousand years of life-or-death escape gave him a clearer understanding of the cruelty of the universe and his own strength.

The oppressive aura of a powerful Emperor-level expert hung like a sword over his head, forcing him to digest and absorb all resources that could be converted into combat power as quickly as possible.

The legacy of Venerable Yaoguang is the most important piece of the puzzle in his hands.

During his first ten thousand years of seclusion, Qin Feng did not rush to comprehend those profound secret techniques or laws. Instead, he treated what the Venerable had learned, thought, and realized throughout his life as a vast epic biography to "read".

He witnessed the hardships that Venerable Yaoguang endured as an ordinary mortal on his path of spiritual cultivation.

He witnessed Venerable Yaoguang, at the King-level, fighting a bloody battle against alien races for millions of years in the shattered star sector for a key divine material.

He witnessed the glorious moment when Venerable Yaoguang was promoted to Emperor, established a cosmic kingdom, protected all living beings, and was revered by hundreds of millions of people.

He also witnessed Venerable Yaoguang's failure to become the Lord of the Universe, his death and the dissipation of his Dao, leaving behind only a wisp of unwilling obsession, which transformed into the desolation and loneliness of the inheritance secret realm.

The Venerable One's life is a complete textbook about power, the Way, glory, and regret.

In this turbulent life journey, Qin Feng saw his own reflection and also saw countless possibilities for the future.

After this baptism, his Dao heart became even more solid, like divine iron that had been washed by the cosmic torrent for billions of years, removing the dross and keeping the essence, leaving only the purest and most steadfast Dao of the "limit".

It wasn't until the second ten thousand years began that Qin Feng officially started analyzing and absorbing the inherited content.

The core of the Way of the Venerable Yaoguang lies in "the evolution of light" and "waves".

He can take the most fundamental laws of light in the universe and push them to their limits, giving them countless variations such as creation, destruction, purification, and sealing.

At the same time, he is more proficient in the fundamental principles of the universe's fluctuations, and can trigger the resonance of laws at a specific frequency, thereby leveraging power beyond his own limits.

For Qin Feng, this was tantamount to opening a completely new door.

Its core is the primordial singularity, which is the ultimate "contraction" and "annihilation".

The Dao of Venerable Yaoguang is the ultimate form of "diffusion" and "evolution".

These two seemingly contradictory things actually subtly conform to the ultimate law of the universe, from the Big Bang to the eventual heat death or Big Crunch.

Qin Feng did not attempt to cultivate the laws of Venerable Yao Guang, as that did not align with his path to the "limit." What he wanted to do was transform Venerable Yao Guang's wisdom into nourishment for the towering tree of his own "Great Dao of the Limit."

His mastery of formations was the most important factor.

With a thought, Qin Feng slowly revealed two extremely complex array models within his sea of ​​souls.

First, there is the [Primordial Furnace] array.

In the past, the core of this great formation was based on its own [Primordial Furnace] Dao Seal, devouring all things and refining their origins. Its operating mode was more inclined towards a barbaric and efficient plundering.

However, after absorbing Venerable Yaoguang's theory on "wave resonance", Qin Feng began a complete upgrade of it.

He spent a full 30,000 years incorporating over 30 billion different law fluctuation frequency models into the array structure of the [Primordial Furnace].

The Primal Furnace array, when activated, no longer simply absorbs matter through gravity.

It can release specific law fluctuations depending on the target. These fluctuations can directly "resonate" with the source of laws, the energy core, and even the soul within the enemy's body.

Once resonance is formed, the enemy's power will no longer be under their control; instead, it will surge towards the core of the furnace like a flood bursting its banks.

This increased the efficiency of the grand formation by more than a thousand times! Even more terrifying is that this method of "internal disintegration" makes even self-destruction a luxury for the enemy. Under the guidance of the resonance of the laws, their very essence will become Qin Feng's purest tonic.

Secondly, there is the [Ultimate Grand Array].

This is the foundation of Qin Feng's offensive and defensive strategies.

In the past, its strength lay in its impenetrable physical defense and unstoppable single-point attack.

Now, Qin Feng has incorporated the concept of "Yan Guang" from Venerable Yao Guang into it.

He spent another 30,000 years transforming the energy circuit of the Ultimate Array into a "prism structure" that could infinitely refract, evolve, and amplify.

When the great formation is in defense, any attack that lands on the formation's barrier will be refracted and weakened billions of times by these countless microscopic "light prisms," eventually turning into the purest, harmless energy that will be absorbed by the great formation.

When the formation attacks, Qin Feng's own power, after entering the formation, will also undergo billions of superpositions and amplifications, eventually condensing into a single point and unleashing destructive power far exceeding his own limits.

The refinement of these two great formations enabled Qin Feng to achieve a qualitative leap in both large-scale war raids and one-on-one positional warfare.

During the last 30,000 years of his seclusion, Qin Feng devoted all his energy to the deduction of his strongest offensive technique—the [Limited Divine Light].

This self-created, king-level ultimate skill was once the foundation upon which he established himself at the king level.

However, as his horizons broadened, especially after witnessing the methods of a powerful Emperor-level expert, Qin Feng realized that there was still a huge room for improvement.

In the lineage of Venerable Yaoguang, there is an unfinished ultimate vision called "Light of Return to the Void".

The idea is to instantly "rewind" all the light in a star field, along with the time, space, and laws it carries, to a single point, thereby causing complete annihilation at the conceptual level.

This idea coincides perfectly with Qin Feng's [Primordial Singularity]!

"So that's how it is... All paths in the universe lead to the same destination."

Deep within Qin Feng's soul, the [Primordial Singularity], which symbolized the foundation of his Great Dao, began to vibrate violently.

He no longer regards the [Ultimate Divine Light] as a simple energy attack, but as the manifestation of the "Dao" that carries his own "Ultimate Dao"!
He began to try to infuse the primordial concept of the [Primordial Singularity]—"devouring all things and returning to nothingness"—into every wisp of ultimate divine light.

This process was extremely difficult.

Countless times, his soul power nearly collapsed because it could not bear the ultimate concept of "annihilation".

Countless times, the simulated divine light annihilated itself due to the incompatibility between the concept and the energy.

Inside the cave, time seemed to lose its meaning.

Until the 97,261st year, on the last day of the retreat.

The "vanguard" who was sitting cross-legged suddenly opened his eyes. What kind of eyes were those?
There was no emotion within it, only a darkness purer than the deepest black hole in the universe, a darkness that devoured everything.

He slowly extended a metal finger and gently tapped it into the void in front of him.

There was no earth-shattering roar, no devastating energy fluctuations.

A wisp of "black" light, as thin as a hair and of the purest color, shot out from his fingertips.

This black light seemed to belong to a different universe.

The moment it appeared, the surrounding light, space, laws, and even time seemed to be "deleted," creating an absolute "void."

Wherever the black light passed, a large chunk of the cave wall in front of them vanished silently.

It wasn't destroyed, it wasn't vaporized, it just vanished into thin air.

It's as if it never existed in the past, present, or future.

"Success..."

Qin Feng murmured softly, his voice carrying a hint of weariness that seemed to originate from his very soul, but more than that, an undisguised excitement.

"With the fundamental concept of the Primordial Singularity as its core, and the theory of the Venerable Yao Guang's Return to the Void as its framework, and by integrating all that I have learned in my life... this is the true Ultimate Divine Light."

"From then on, it was no longer a secret art for those who wished to be granted the title of king."

"It is... the secret technique of sealing the emperor!"

Qin Feng slowly stood up, feeling the power within his body that was enough to shake the universe, and made a clear assessment of his current strength.

The mechanical form is the "vanguard," but due to the limitations of the material, the strength of the physical body remains at the top level of the King.

However, thanks to the comprehensive upgrade of the two major formations and the qualitative change of the [Ultimate Divine Light], the situation has improved.

"If I were to face the Heavenly King again now, I wouldn't even need to use any secret techniques; I could simply grind him to death with the power of the formation alone."

"If we were to use this brand-new [Ultimate Divine Light]..."

In Qin Feng's mind, the figures of those powerful Emperor-level experts who had once hunted him down appeared.

"A newly ascended Emperor can be killed with a single blow!"

"Top-tier emperors like the Golden Emperor and the Heavenly Emperor might still be impossible to defeat head-on, but... it's not difficult to make them pay a heavy price and escape unscathed in a contest of strength!"

This confidence stems from absolute strength.

After more than 90,000 years of dormancy, he finally gained the qualification to truly compete with the top players on the chessboard of the universe.

"Judging by the time, it's about time before the 100,000-year deadline for Martial Arts Mountain arrives."

"The cosmic wonder [Dou], and... that deadly trap set against me, it's time to go and confront it."

Qin Feng withdrew all his aura, and the deep darkness in his mechanical eyes slowly faded, restoring a calm and undisturbed state.

He took a step forward, and his figure disappeared into the Earth's core cave.

When he reappeared, he was already outside the atmosphere of this purple planet.

He glanced back at the planet that had sheltered him for over 90,000 years, without a trace of lingering affection, and transformed into an inconspicuous streak of light, disappearing into the vast depths of the universe.

……

The chaotic star sector "Tianheng," the cosmic coordinates where Wudou Mountain is located, has, after nearly 100,000 years of development, become the most sought-after focus in the entire star sector and even in dozens of surrounding star sectors.

When Qin Feng returned here in his "Vanguard" avatar, the scene before him was more than a hundred times more lively than when he left more than 90,000 years ago.

Spaceports, built in the styles of different civilizations, orbited the colossal Martial Fighting Mountain like satellites. Countless spaceships crisscrossed among them, bringing powerful individuals from all corners of the universe.

Their goals were different; some wanted to challenge Wudou Mountain and become famous overnight.
Some did so to observe the battles of the strong and seek an opportunity for a breakthrough;
Many more were drawn by the earth-shattering event more than 90,000 years ago when the "Vanguard" seized the Yao Guang inheritance and attracted the emperor's pursuit. They wanted to try their luck here and see if the legendary mechanical prodigy would dare to show up again.

Qin Feng concealed himself in the crowd, his aura extremely restrained, like an ordinary mechanical servant, completely inconspicuous.

He did not rush into Wudou Mountain, but instead gathered intelligence from the past 90,000 years in the public information exchange area on the outskirts.

Soon, a familiar name caught his eye.

—Stone Buddha.

That was the forbidden genius who had made a deal with him and was also walking on the path of divinity.

At this moment, on the enormous "Monument to Heroes" projected outside Wudou Mountain, a name is climbing the leaderboard at an astonishing speed.

The 9,800th...

The 8,500th...

The 7,300th...

It is indeed a stone Buddha!

And the number of consecutive wins displayed after his name has reached an astonishing figure—7.83 million!

"Oh? You've already reached this level."

He walked slowly toward the monument to heroes, where hundreds of millions of people had already gathered. They all looked up, discussing excitedly, as if witnessing a historic moment.

"Look! Another win! Seven million eight hundred and thirty thousand and one more wins!"

"My God, the Stone Buddha is too strong! He's only 170,000 games away from eight million consecutive wins!"

"This is absolutely the closest we've ever come to success since the founding of Martial Arts Mountain!"
More than 90,000 years ago, although that "vanguard" achieved a record of 7,999,999 battles, it was his first challenge. Afterwards, he was hunted down by all races and disappeared without a trace.

But Lord Stone Buddha, over the past ninety thousand years, has steadily and painstakingly honed his skills through millions of battles, step by step, to reach his current position!

Among the crowd, a seasoned and knowledgeable veteran, stroking his beard, sighed.

A young cultivator nearby immediately asked curiously, "Senior, tell me, who is stronger, this Stone Buddha or that Vanguard from back then?"

Upon hearing this, the old man pondered for a moment before slowly saying, "It's hard to say, hard to say... Back then, that vanguard rose like a comet, instantly killing the Heavenly King and overpowering two great talents to seize the Yao Guang inheritance. His brilliance was unprecedented throughout the ages."

His strength lies in an invincible 'momentum,' an absolute power that can destroy everything in its path.

He paused, then pointed to the name of the stone Buddha on the monument to heroes: "And this stone Buddha, look at his challenge record."

In every battle, he reduced the time he spent with precision. His control over power and his grasp of the rhythm of battle had reached an unbelievable 'Zen state'.

His strength lies in a kind of 'stability', a state of being as immovable as a mountain, impervious to all laws.

If the Vanguard is a raging fire that burns across the eight wastelands, then the Stone Buddha is divine metal that endures countless calamities without decay.

"So, do you think Lord Stone Buddha can successfully break the eight million-win streak this time?"

Someone else pressed for an answer.

This question instantly silenced all the surrounding chatter, and everyone pricked up their ears, waiting for the old man's judgment.

The old man shook his head with a wry smile: "Fifty percent. Eight million consecutive wins, that's the legendary threshold, the ultimate test."

The final gatekeeper phantom is said to possess the combat power of a newly ascended Emperor, and also wields a trace of the primordial power of the cosmic artifact [Battle]. Its fighting style is extremely bizarre.

Although Lord Stone Buddha is strong, he has not yet reached that level.

He is now pushing his limits with his willpower and perseverance.

Everyone gasped when they heard this.

A phantom image of someone just entering the Emperor-level combat power stage?
Does it also possess the power of cosmic wonders?
This level of difficulty is utterly hopeless!
"No wonder no one has succeeded since ancient times... This is simply not a realm that a King-level expert can challenge!"

"Yes, it's nothing short of miraculous that Lord Stone Buddha has reached this point!"

"Whether successful or not, the name of the Stone Buddha will resound throughout the universe!"

The discussion erupted again, filled with admiration and anticipation for the stone Buddha.

Qin Feng listened quietly, his gaze passing through the crowded throng and landing on the huge light screen.

The battle of the Stone Buddha was being broadcast live on the light screen.

In the picture, the stone Buddha still has that solemn and dignified appearance.

He sat cross-legged on a giant stone lotus, facing a colossal star beast formed from laws and exuding a terrifying aura, without making a move.

He simply closed his eyes slightly and recited some ancient scripture.

Visible golden chanting notes floated from his mouth, transforming into swastika symbols that were imprinted in the void.

These markings did not directly attack the giant beast, but instead formed a vast domain.

Within the domain, the flow of time becomes extremely slow, and the spatial structure becomes incredibly viscous.

The raging beast moved slowly within the domain, its power seemingly trapped in the mire, unable to exert even a fraction of its strength.

Meanwhile, the stone Buddha's lotus throne was constantly drawing upon the primal power of the giant beast to strengthen itself.

As one side weakens and the other gains, the seemingly powerful phantom gradually weakens and withers without being attacked directly, eventually turning into specks of light and dissipating.

"What a wonderful [Transformation Domain] of the Stone Clan's Zen Buddhism..." Qin Feng thought to himself.

He could see that the stone Buddha's strength had also made great progress compared to more than 90,000 years ago.

He has perfectly integrated his "Zen" and "stone" philosophy, forming a unique combat system.

but……

Qin Feng also noticed the stone Buddha's predicament.

Although his domain is powerful, each time it is maintained and operated, it consumes a massive amount of his soul and law power.

The stone Buddha in the light screen appears calm, but the light emanating from its soul has already taken on a barely perceptible dimming.

He's nearing his limit.

"In this state, the chances of challenging the final level are indeed slim."

Qin Feng made a judgment in his mind.

He no longer focused on the Stone Buddha's battle, but instead turned his attention to the majestic Martial Fighting Mountain.

After more than 90,000 years of experience and accumulation, it's time to put a period to that first encounter.

This also reminds all the races of the universe of the existence known as "Vanguard".

……

Everyone's attention was drawn to the impending glory of the stone Buddha.

until……

A young disciple from the Tianji Sect is here on orders to record key data about the Stone Buddha challenge.

He habitually scanned his surroundings in case of any unexpected events.

Suddenly, his gaze was drawn to the figure moving in the opposite direction.

It wasn't because his figure was particularly special, but because he walked... too "quietly".

In this frenzied ocean, this "stillness" is itself an extreme anomaly.

The young disciple subconsciously activated the sect's unique detection technique, and an invisible stream of data swept across the mechanical body.

【Name: Vanguard】

[Race: Mechanical]

[Status: Challenger at Mount Mutiara]

[Current Challenge Progress: 7,999,999 / 8,000,000]

[Challenge time remaining: 338 years]

The moment those concise lines of data appeared on his retina, the Tianji Sect disciple's breath abruptly stopped.

His mind went blank for a moment.

Urgent... a vanguard?!

That legend who, more than 90,000 years ago, achieved the greatest feat in history on his first challenge, then seized the inheritance of Venerable Yao Guang, attracted the pursuit of several Emperor-level beings, and ultimately disappeared into the depths of the universe…?

He is back? !
The young disciple's lips moved silently as he subconsciously rubbed his eyes to confirm.

The data remained unchanged; the cold characters seemed to possess a magic power capable of freezing the soul.

"Yes……"

A dry, hoarse sound escaped his throat, "...It's him!"

This low growl, though not loud, was like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, instantly stirring up a tidal wave in the hearts of the powerful figures around him.

"What do you mean 'him'? Little one, what kind of behavior is this, jumping around like that!"

A hot-tempered bear king standing nearby snorted in dissatisfaction.

However, the identity of a disciple of the Heavenly Mystery Sect was no small matter, and a meticulous expert immediately asked, "Fellow Daoist, what have you discovered?"

The young disciple did not answer; he simply pointed with his trembling finger, which was shaking slightly from extreme shock, at the figure that was almost at the entrance of the reception hall.

"Emergency... Vanguard..."

The three words, like three bolts of cosmic thunder containing infinite power, exploded in everyone's ears!

"what?!"

"Who are you talking about?!"

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

The initial reaction stemmed from instinctive questioning and denial.

That name has been silent for far too long.

So long ago, it has almost become a symbol that exists only in legends and epics.

More than 90,000 years is enough time for any genius to lose their brilliance and even be forgotten.

What's more, he disappeared while being hunted down by several powerful Emperor-level experts!

In everyone's mind, he was either already dead or hiding in some remote corner of the universe, barely clinging to life. It was impossible for him to, and he dared not, appear in such a high-profile place again!
However, the doubts lasted only a second.

Countless divine thoughts, filled with exploration, awe, and disbelief, instantly locked onto that figure.

Meanwhile, more people pulled out their data terminals and began frantically searching for the list of challengers at Wudou Mountain.

When the name "Vanguard," along with the breathtaking list of achievements and remaining time, was clearly presented before everyone's eyes, the entire circumnavigation space, the ocean that had been boiling over for the Stone Buddha, fell into an eerie, deathly silence.

All sound abruptly ceased.

All movements froze instantly.

Even the battle light screen on the stone Buddha on the monument of heroes seemed to lose all its color at this moment.

Time seemed to have been paused.

one second.

two seconds.

three seconds.

"boom--!!!!!"

After the silence came an explosion of frenzy, ten or even a hundred times more intense than before, a cataclysmic event!
"They're the vanguard! They really are the vanguard!!!"

"He's back! The legendary man, he's back!!!"

"My God! I thought I was seeing things! More than 90,000 years have passed, and he's still alive!"

"Quick! Calculate the time! His 100,000-year challenge deadline... how much time is left?!"

Immediately, beings skilled in calculation mobilized their auxiliary intelligence and provided accurate answers.

"Ninety-nine thousand six hundred and sixty-two years! His challenge has lasted a total of ninety-nine thousand six hundred and sixty-two years! Only three hundred and thirty-eight years remain until the ten thousand-year deadline!!!"

This number was like a ladle of boiling oil poured into a raging fire.

"More than three hundred years... He disappeared for more than ninety thousand years, but returned at the last moment?"

"What confidence! What audacity! Is he trying to use this last bit of time to achieve an unprecedented eight-million-game winning streak?!"

"This is insane! This is the craziest script in the universe!"

The entire Starport descended into utter madness.

If the challenge of the Stone Buddha was a predictable and steadily progressing mountain climbing journey, then the return of the Vanguard was a cosmic storm that swept everything without warning!

The focus of the discussion instantly shifted from "whether the stone Buddha can succeed" to another, more explosive topic.

"Do you think he... can succeed? There are only three hundred years left!"

"Difficult! Too difficult! Although he is only one victory away from winning, that one will be against a phantom with the combat power of a newly ascended Emperor!"

Even the Stone Buddha, who has cultivated here for 90,000 years, wouldn't dare say he's absolutely certain. How could someone who has vanished for over 90,000 years possibly be so confident?

A rational analyst immediately raised a question.

But his words were instantly drowned out by his fervent admirers.

"Why? Because he's called Vanguard! Because he killed the Heavenly King, who was on the same path to divinity, with a single move! Because he overpowered the Heartless Demon and the Fairy Linglong, and exclusively obtained the inheritance of Venerable Yaoguang!"

"That's right! Have you forgotten who he is? He's a monster! A monster that can't be understood by common sense! Over ninety thousand years is enough time for any earth-shattering change to occur in him!"

"I bet he can win! Since he dared to come back, he must be confident of victory! That's the true value of a legend!"

Two diametrically opposed viewpoints clashed fiercely among the crowd, adding even more uncertainty and drama to the already fervent atmosphere.

Amidst this storm that swept across the entire Wudou Mountain, some eyes hidden in the shadows gleamed with a unique, cold, and greedy light.

"The vanguard... he's finally appeared..."

"Hehe, the legacy of Venerable Yaoguang... this piece of fat meat will eventually have to be spit out."

Secret messages, transmitted through various encrypted channels, spread wildly in all directions of the universe at a speed exceeding the speed of light.

[Target spotted! Coordinates: Tianheng, Wudou Mountain, Chaotic Star Sector.]

[Codenamed "Vanguard," confirmed alive, and suspected of possessing the complete legacy of Venerable Yao Guang.]

[Bounty activated! All relevant parties must immediately activate the highest level of contingency plan!]

Martial Arts Mountain is the absolute domain of the Martial Arts Master, where there is an ironclad rule recognized throughout the universe—any form of private fighting is prohibited.

Even a powerful emperor or a cosmic ruler would not easily challenge the authority of the Martial Lord here.

Therefore, no one dared to make a move here.

But this did not prevent an invisible net, woven from murderous intent and greed, from quietly unfolding in the void outside Martial Fighting Mountain.

The message spread much faster than imagined.

The first to react were the space pirate gangs and bounty hunters who roamed the chaotic star sectors year-round.

They converged from all directions like sharks drawn by the scent of blood.

Next came those races that had grudges against Qin Feng.

"The Golden Crow Clan, led by Elder King Jin Lieyang, has sealed off the Gengzi-37 shipping route with three thousand Golden Crow Guards!"

"The Abyss Demon Clan's newly crowned Demon King, 'Blood Eye,' has already deployed the [Abyss Corrosion Array] in the outer star field of Martial Fighting Mountain!"

"Crystal Clan..."

One by one, renowned forces throughout the universe began to mobilize their troops.

However, what truly caused the laws of this star field to begin to solidify was the pressure from a higher level.

In a seemingly empty void, the space rippled like water, and a figure engulfed in golden flames, radiating imperial majesty, slowly emerged.

His eyes, like two small stars, pierced through time and space, locking onto the direction of Wudou Mountain.

"Yaoguang... your legacy should not fall into the hands of a mechanical race."

He muttered to himself, his voice devoid of any emotion.

Immediately afterwards, in another direction, a space collapsed without warning, forming a miniature black hole.

A burly figure clad in black armor, wielding a giant axe, and exuding an aura of unparalleled dominance, stepped out of the black hole.

"Kill him, and the inheritance will be mine; the consequences will be yours."

He spoke coldly in the direction of the golden figure.

"can."

A mere two words exchanged determined the fate of a legendary prodigy.

Such scenes played out one after another in the void surrounding Wudou Mountain.

One after another, subtle yet powerful auras, like giant beasts from the deep sea, silently descended and occupied various key spatial nodes.

Upon being granted the title of Emperor!

A total of ten!

Ten powerful beings, each capable of suppressing a cosmic kingdom, establishing their own sects, and becoming regional overlords, have gathered here for the same goal.

They may be competitors among themselves, but they are surprisingly in agreement on "killing the vanguard first."

They were like patient hunters, waiting quietly.

Waiting for the prey that has stepped into the trap to complete its final performance, and then... step out to face the judgment of death.

Qin Feng sensed all of this.

With each step he took toward the reception hall, he could clearly sense the chilling killing intent emanating from the depths of the universe.

He could even "see" the deadly net that was constructed from laws and divine thoughts, covering the entire star field.

But he doesn't care.

His expression remained unchanged.

His steps were unwavering.

Under the watchful eyes of countless complex gazes, he walked into the reception hall, approached the mechanical attendant in charge of registration, and handed over his identity token.

"Challengers, pioneers, keep challenging."

The cold, electronic sound, amplified by the lobby's sound system, reverberated throughout the entire Starport.

Then, to everyone's astonishment, his figure was enveloped in a white light and vanished from the spot in an instant.

He entered Wudou Mountain.

The overwhelming killing intent from the outside world, as well as the deadly trap set up by the ten Emperors, were all kept outside.

The storm has already taken shape.

He, however, calmly walked into the eye of the storm.
